80-120 dc air switch

Where can I find a dc air pressure switch for 80 -120 psi. ? Making another onboard air setup. I need it to turn on and off the jeep compressor when it goes from roughly 80 to 120 psi. and it needs to be d.c. also. Last time I did this I found one on ebay but have had no luck recently. Trying to get this done before the W.V. trip! Thanks, Scott

most air pressure switches are just a mechanical type relay and will run on any voltage. check mcmaster-carr. they should have what you need and you can get most things by the next day with ground shipping.

Looked on their site first and found nothing that was DC. Also found nothing in my range of psi. either.

How much do you charge? :( This job requires drilling and taping a round piece of 316 stainless steel with a 1/4 npt tap. Then you have to turn a wrench about 6 times and snap a plug on the end of the sensor. Should not take more than 5 minutes.

I have one of these Viar pressure switches that I'm going to use on my onboard air project when I get around to it. It seems to be a good part...nice heavy gauge wires, feels solid. Has a built in 12v relay.

just because it says 120v does not mean that that is what it can run at. The switch is rated for that but at the same time can handle different voltages. We use alot of mechanical switches at work that say 120v but we are running 24vdc through it.
